New Zealand Grants Nepal Earthquake Refugees Residency

In April of 2015, a big earthquake shook
Nepal. This was known and reported as Gorkha earthquake. It was quite
devastating as it took the lives of almost 9,000 individuals. Aside from those,
there were around 22,000 who got injured because of it. The Gorkha earthquake
was measured to be at a magnitude of 7.8.

Because of this, plenty of people were left
homeless. Some had to resort to fleeing their country because they believed
that it was unsafe to live there anymore. One of the countries where these
refugees fled to was New Zealand. And New Zealand, being a nation that was
built by immigrants, was more than happy to share their land with these
homeless people.

Recently, the country has granted Nepalese
refugees who found haven in New Zealand residency. This is definitely good news
as it means that these individuals do not have to fear about being sent back to
their own country. Plus, with a residency, they can fully appreciate and enjoy
the benefits that come with it.

The
story of a couple refugee

Two of those who made their way to New Zealand were a couple. Recently, they were given residency status and thus this
means that they continue living in New Zealand and this was all because of the
post traumatic stress disorder (which is also known as PTSD) that they have
gotten because of what they had to go through during the earthquake in Nepal
back in 2015. PTSD is not a simple matter and it can be a part of the lives of
individuals for many years.

The couple who found a new home in New
Zealand had to leave their country. They were already retired and they did not
have place to call home in Nepal as the earthquake destroyed that. The
earthquake also gave them trauma. They continued to suffer from chronic pain.
These were not really good things to have and so New Zealand decided that they
could stay in the country for as long as they wanted.

Residency
granted

The couple had tried to get a refugee
status previously. However, they were denied that. The good side though is that
they were given residency status as a part the country’s humanitarian reasons.

The couple definitely is in good hands now
that they are in New Zealand. Being new to the country is not going to be quite
a big deal as most of the people there have come from other countries as well.
Immigrants are all over the country and so they know how it feels to be in a
new country. There are support communities that assist newcomers to the
country. This is how immigrants are able to adapt to New Zealand.
